Thrilled to be involved in this brilliant Netflix series on Japan’s Age of Samurai.
As a brutal civil war rages across 16th century Japan, powerful samurai warlords rise up in a bid to crush their rivals and become the first leader in almost a century to reunite the nation and rule all of Japan. Many will rise, most will fall, and one will build a dynasty that will continue for 250 years.
This is the story of three extraordinary and charismatic men – Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu – and also of the women behind the warlords. It’s a Game of Thrones dramatisation with experts telling the story. I was lucky enough to be asked to tell the women’s side of the story. Hugely enjoyed the chance to help bring this thrilling period alive.
